I Hate Getting Attached To People

Well... not "people" per se.
More like, people online.

I am happy to chat privately but I'm not looking to get attached to anyone with private chats. Been there, done that and I'm not going down that path again.

I can't tell you how many times I've started chatting with people on here and it soon becomes an expectation that I reply ever so often.

I've had people get upset with me for not saying good morning, or good night, or not replying quick enough. I've had people write to me to say they miss me or that they are annoyed that my green light is on and I'm not writing back.

I know it may sound cold, but I'm just not into things progressing in that way. I'm not here for that kind of stuff.

Totally, I mean I know they're people and matter just as much as those I interact with physically, but still I don't want to feel an obligation on a site like that, real life is already full of people who have expectations. I'm supposed to relax here.

Similar. I never understood the need to constantly check in with other people. I don't like constant greeting messages that aren't going anywhere either. But when it stops, they assume a person doesn't care about them.

@SW-User Agreed! Last guy I dated would text me good morning every day and not another word. Wouldn't actually "talk" to me for a week, sometimes two. Good morning texts mean nothing and I got tired of that.

Omg, people like the ones you mentioned makes me wonder, don’t they have life offline? That’s too much for online fun. Its like is there such a commitment on here once you log in? Oh my!
